Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Point Cook
I wanted to be a Naturopath, as I believed there had to be other more nurturing and hopeful ways of healing.
I was studying remedial massage therapy at the same time as Naturopathy when I came across Acupuncture. I was hearing stories like “the only thing that helped me was acupuncture”. I did more research, and Chinese medicine drew me in. A whole health medicine that has survived for thousands of years? There is a reason it has survived so long.
I changed degrees and spent the next four years at university learning about channels, acupuncture points, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy. I love acupuncture and Chinese Medicine so much that I read about it on the weekends and after clinic is done. You will always find me with my head in a book, or at a course learning and improving my techniques. I love the magic of acupuncture, how you can get off the table feeling rested and revived. I love how balanced herbal formulas are; there is a formula for everything, from the common cold to period pain to back pain.
Chinese medicine is a nourishing and considered medicine. It has its own understanding of health and physiology. We read the body through the tongue, meridians and pulse. It is a special medicine I would love to share with you. Our little clinic is in Point Cook, we hope you find it warm and cosy.

common questions
What health conditions may acupuncture support?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific acupuncture points on the body to promote healing and balance.
Acupuncture may help not only with pain, but also internal medicine such as women’s health, anxiety, sleep, digestion, skin conditions and fertility.

How many treatments will I need?
2
This highly depends on what is being treated! It also depends on if the condition is acute or chronic. Chronic conditions will require more treatments.
Some conditions such as women’s health may require several weekly treatments (6-12) over weeks or months, other such as pain may improve in 3-6 sessions.
Chinese medicine is not a quick fix! It took time to become ill, it will take time to recover. It also depends on patient compliance with taking herbal medicine and following lifestyle and diet advice.
With acupuncture or herbal medicine the more often the treatment, the better the results. An example is if you are taking antibiotics, it takes more than one tablet to see any results, you need to finish the course.
Are there any side effects of acupuncture?
3
Chinese medicine is generally considered to be safe but occasionally may be associated with possible adverse reactions in individual cases. These are usually mild and temporary, and can include soreness, bruising, and bleeding at the needle site.
What should I do before and after acupuncture?
4
Before your acupuncture appointment please make sure you eat a light meal and avoid strenuous activities. After the session please rest, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or heavy exercise for the remainder of the day to allow your body to fully benefit from the treatment.
